Quinoa Greek Power Salad

Have you had the Modern Greek Salad with Quinoa from Panera? Well I have, too many times. After the first time trying this salad, I probably went back to get it 10-20 times before taking matters into my own hands.

I looked up the ingredients and figured I could make something similar but to my own liking at home, and it would be much more affordable! Right I was. And my husband was very happy because he also loves these salads.

Best thing about them? If you meal prep the quinoa ahead of time, they take less than 5 minutes to throw together! Voila – dinner in a jiffy for those on-the-go days.

2-3 cups greens (I use a mix of arugula and kale), but spinach and romaine are also good options1/2 of a cucumber, diced2 tbsp kalamata olives, halved or quartered are fine2 tbsp feta cheese1/4 cup quinoa, cold if it’s been prepared prior to day of assembly2 tbsp toasted sliced almonds2-3 tbsp greek vinaigrette dressing (Kraft or Panera if you can find it are good) – also good with Italian vinaigrette optional: chopped sun-dried tomatoes
